Ever wonder why some products carry official stamps and markings?
Consider them symbols of trust and quality assurance. Each of our accreditations stand for our dedication to creating chains and lifting components that meets the toughest international standards - whether used on construction cranes towering over cityscapes or on oil rigs battling the elements at sea. Take the DGUV H Mark, for instance. This German certification prioritizes safety, guaranteeing that our chains have passed thorough tests designed to handle demanding environments. Think of it as a quality passport for industrial and lifting gear—a sign that every chain can perform when it truly matters.
Then there are the DNV 2.7-1 and DNV 2.7-3 standards, developed specifically for extreme offshore conditions. Imagine our products facing the roaring winds and crashing waves on an offshore oil platform. The DNV certification, issued by Det Norske Veritas, assures that our chains and lifting components are engineered to endure these tough environments, providing reliability when the stakes are highest.
The SABS Mark is our homegrown seal of approval. If you see this accreditation on a Mckinnon Chain test certificate, you can trust it’s built to South African standards and is ready to serve the construction, mining, and transport industries with reliability and strength. This stamp means the product has met the rigorous standards of the South African Bureau of Standards, ensuring performance across the nation’s toughest work sites.
Spotting Quality at a Glance
Curious how to spot a product that’s accredited? Whether it’s local or international accreditations, it will be specified on the test certificate. In the case of DGUV accreditation an H mark number is stamped onto the chain. These markings and accreditations serve as an instant reminder that the products are certified, tested and manufactured to the required national and international standards.
Backed by these certifications we go beyond providing products - we’re building trust, one link at a time.
